EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
LETTER FROILL PARIS.
(Conespondeace of the. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
PA PAS, New Year's Eve, 1867.—1 date my letter
for the last time under the old year. But the fan
grows fast and furious and the great event of the
French year now arrives close upon ns; every
one is rushing about, hurry-scurry., anxious that
the Important business of to-morrow should be
duly put in course of execution, and that bonbons
and strfsses should he purchased in time and
their safe deliver) provided for by times in the
morning. There seems to be a brisk retail trade
doing, if one may judge from the throng in the
streets, and the dense crowds which muster and
jostle one another round the entrances to the
fivorite stores. There are some complaints that
the grand monde, weary of the long-drawn-out
festivities and expense of the past summer, are
fighting shy ,of the town, and passing Christ
111a13 week in the country, or along the sunny
shores of the Mediterranean: and one or
two of our most marked' American notabili
ties are certainly still absent in the latter
d:rcction, to which the presence of the American
fleet and its World4eitowned codirinstader add,
this winter, unusual attraction. But still, as I
lately observed, the American element musters
strong, and no, small portion of the bustle and
movement of to-morrow will be derived from its
presence in Paris. American ladies will stop at
home to receive the congratulations of the sea
son from their male visitors, the wife and daugh
ter of our minister setting the example, just as
it they were living in the Fifth Avenue,-and gen
tlemen will find the materials provided them for,
making a hundred visits in the course of the day,
for all the world as though they were on the
other Side of the Atlantic instead of upon this.
We arc certainly a wonderful people, wo great
Yankee nation, and have flooded this continent
of Europe, and taken poissession of all its choicest
localities in a way that is perfectly astonishing
even to ourselves!
Amidst all the merriment and festivity which
are going on around us, the tones of the discus
sion in the Chamber on the Army bill ring out
in harsh discordance with the sound of midnight
organs pealing forth p:cans to the Prince of
Peace, with the voices of children round the
Christmas tree, with the greetings of good-will
on the advent of another year. What an exam
ple has America set to Europe in the arts of war,
as well as in those of peace! When she calls forth
her sons to battle, it is really. the cry that "the
country is in danger." Salranda est Respublica!
The magic word is spoken, and quick as thought
her strong battalions shake tho earth with their
tread. Thousands, upon thousands of volunteers
flock to her standard, and when all is over, "go
tack to their homes" (those immortal words
spoken In Paris, and never forgotten here), "go
back to their homes as quietly as men return
from church on a Sunday morning!" How dif
ferent is the case here; and what cold and almost
revolting calculations one bears in the months of
marshals and ministers, of how many men for
slaughter the — pnindatiod will "Staudt"
how many the govprninent may venture
to drag from their hearths without rousing the
people to desperation; how long a man in
his prime must be kept from marrying In order
that he may be less unwilling to be shot l• There
is something hardly decent in Marshal Niel's
essay on population, and his suggestion whether,
after all, the maimed, the lame, the halt and the
blind, who are cast out of the horrors of the
conscription, were not good enough material to
make husbands of!
Now the real reason of all these difficulties and
calculations of the• government respecting, the
army, and the repugnance of the population to
fill its ranks, is that there is really no national
cause at stake, but only the jealousy of rival
princes and governments, determined to out-do
each other in their hideous and ruinous arma
ments. There is not a sane man in this country
who believes that either Germany, or any other
nation In the world, dreams of aggression
against France on her own territory. Why, then,
think the people, are we to be dragged from our
homes, and arrayed against those who will not
meddle with us if we leave them alone? Why,
indeed; and if the majority in the Chamber really
represented the country, instead of only the Go
vernment, the fitting answer would not be long
forthcoming.
The new bill,however,has now as good as passed
the House, with very slight modifications. On
Thursday the amendment proposing to reduce
the term of service from nine to eight years was
rejected by a largo majority. But the following
day that of the majority of the commission, al
lowing soldiers of the Reserve to, marry during
the last three years, instead of twn.years, of their
service, was carried against the government by a
majority of 278 to only 11. This last is the only
material change made in the proposed measure,
and is doubtlees intended by the deputies
as a sop thrown out to their constituents, very
likely with the secret acquiescence of the govern
ment, upon a point which it is known deeply
stirs the feelings of the rural districts. •
The 11/eel/tar of yesterday announces the ele
vation of M. Lo Play, Chief Commissioner of the
,Universal Exhibition, to the rank of Senator.
It has been particularly noticed thaton Sunday

ceived, separately - , the Papal Nuncio to long pri
vate audiences.
The Cardinal de Bonnechose, Archbishop of
Rouen, • wrote the other day to M. Thiers, to
congratulate and thank him for his speech in de
fence of the temporal power. This induced M.
Thiers to call upon the Cardinal. After they had
conversed together for some time on the subject
in question, M. Thiers said : "Your Eminence,
I never pretend to have any Faith; that is a gilt
I don't possess, But I have always thought that
the Catholic organization was a powerful politi
cal instrument in the hands of France. And,
moreover, having studied hiiitory a good
deal in my life, I have alwaYs remarked that
any attempt, to swallow the Pope was always
followed by a severe fit of indigesition !" And so
the Cardinal and the ex-Minister (arcades ambo!)
enjoyed the joke, and shook hands and parted.
It is said that the ambitious Cardinal numbers
amongst the articles of his Faith a belief in the
possibility of a French Pope!
There is a report that Mlle. Patti (who has just
achieved a new success in Ernarri) will shortly be
married to a French nobleman, the Marquis de
Coax, in Normandy.
An important law suit will shortly come on be
fore the French eourts, in which the United,
States Government claims six Millions of dollars
of COnfederate money,lodged in the hands of:
French ship-builders, for orders never executed.

HAVANA. Jan. 13, 1868.—The funeral of the
late Count O'Reilly at the Church of San Juan
was a gorgeous pageant. The cortege comprised
one hundred carriages, besides quite a large mili
tary escort. The music on the solemn occasion
was grand.
Thetlnt intimation of the recent all defal
cation at the City Bank, obtained by the police
authorities, was, that a gentleman in some
mamer connected with that institution rushed
Into headquarters day before yesterday
morning, in a state of great nervous excite
ment, and,inquiring for Superintendent Kennedy . ,
was ushered into his presence, when he informed
that official that the Directors, in investigating
certain books during the previous two days,
had discovered a tearful discrepancy in the
accounts of Mr. Leverieb, the second teller.
This official messenger of the bank enjoined strict
silence upon the Superintendent and those who
should be despatched to investigate the affair that
the public ear, ever ready to listen and the public
mind ever willing to cogitate upon such rascality,
should not,in this illEtance, be gratified. Notwith
standing that these precautions were observed,
and the detective sent to "work up" the case was
ordered to keep a sealed mouth, the publicity of
such a starthng discovery was made soon there
after by the gossiping character of certain per
sons connected with the bunk. It would seem by
their revelations that the continued absence of
Leverich from his accustomedAeat, without good
and cogent reasons for such conduct, was thought
to be slightly suspicious; and, acting upon this suggestion, inquiries were made by order of the
bank officers •as to the cause, when they as
certained to their great astonishment that he had
Lot been home for several days. Suspicions that
were but shadows before suddenly partook of
the nature of unpalatable reality,and the investi
gation above referred to being at once com
menced, disclosed the unwelcome fact that the
missing teller had qtiletly and in a peculiarly re
markable manner abstracted funds of the insti
tution to the enormous amount of about .$350,-
020. The consternation of the said officials
upon this alleged revelation overwhelmed them,
and can be better imagined than described.
But little has been revealed in relation to the
habits of Leverich, but some pronounce them to
have been, by appearances, sober and quiet,
while his daily life was of rather an unostenta
tious character. Where he has gone to leaving
the whirlpool of busy Wall street behind him as
a memory of the past, -is at- present quite un
known, but some pretend to be full of facts in
this particular, and with portentous nods of
their heads exclaim, "To Europe! to Europe!"
The City Bank, if the -facts of this-case, as
alleged, are true, seems to be peculiarly unfortu
nate, as but a short time since the adroit forger
Livingston victimized them to the handsome
tiaure of $75,000 by means of a cheek purporting
to emanate from Commodore Vanderbilt, which
amount, it will be remembered, he spent in in
dulging in the pleasant pastime of buying land
in the far West; but fortunately, in this instance,
' for the bank, a greater portion of this amount
was recovered by quickly unearthing the forger
and prompt seizure and sale of his suddenly ac
quired property.
Further developments may in the course of to
day be made in this extraordinary case that will
give at least the anxious public some clue as to
the amount alleged to have been abstracted from
the bank's surplus funds.
EEO=l
Yesterday morning, about half-past eleven
O'clock, as Mr. A. Levi, of No. 55 Carondelct
street, returned to his office from bank, carrying
with him a box containing money, papers, and
diamonds valued In all at seventy-five thousand
dollars, it appears that his movements had been
watched by a young man who gave his name as
A. J. Crandall. However that may be, ho fol
lowed Mr. Levi into his store, and noticing that
he laid the box down upon the desk, deliberately
walked up and threw his over-coat upon it in
such a manner as to conceal it.
Ho then turned to leave the, place, carrying
with him the coat and the box concealed under
It. By this time Mr. Levi began to notice what
was going on, and started in pursuit. What
hick be would have had in overtaking the thief
and his booty is not known, for In a very oppor
tune moment Officer Connors, , caught
the fugitive and put. a stop to. his,
flight. At the same moment Corporal
Williams hove in, sight, and at once ran to
the assistance of Connors, who had his hands
full in the attempt to hold his prisoner and the
box at the same time. Officer Hartmann also
NVIIH in' the vicinity, and lent a ready hand on the
right side. The three officers marched Crandall
and the box of treasure off to the City Hail, and
arraigned him before the Mayor. Mr. Levi fol
lowed in great trepidation, and was so glad to

On his way to St. Thomas he had put into Tor

special subscription. It amounted to $lO,OOO.
The cholera reports at St. Thomas were exag

between the Superintendent of the island and the
health authorities.
The. Weather was hot and rainy. There had
been a great many squalls, and on the 3d instant

Sonata in D major opus 28 Is thought to be one
of Beethoven's most hiteresting compositions.
and indicates an exceedingly happy frame of
mind at the time of its writing. A well-spent
day, with a clear sky and joyous company,in the
environs of Vienna, is thought to have suggested
to the y and ever-active mind of Bectho
ve e plan' and motiyos of this beautiful Idyle.
Th music publisher in Hamburg, Crauz who
printed the sonatas of Beethoven, calledlt the
Pastorale, and as such it is now known. The al
legro in D major bids a bold defiance to time, and
refuses to grow old; it Is full of the resources of
the grand rhythmic style of which the Sinfonia
Erotea is one of the most perfect expressions.
This manner has had a great influence on Mo
scheles, Hummel, Schubert, Weber, Mendelssohn,
and others of modern fame.
This allegro does_not belongto the. piano_alone,_
it is for all instruments.. In seeking the means
of executing this Sonata, the orchestra is natu
rally suggested. Ferdinand Ries has arranged it
for Qdartetto. The adagio in D minor is a move
ment of grandeur and majesty, and moves with
a stately gait and increased tread , reminding one
of the spirit of the music of the Conamendatore.
The Rondo is a beautiful pastoral theme, of
which the bearer never grows weary and is dis
posed to ask for "that strain again"! Opus 31
includes three Sonatas dedicated to the Countess
Browne. The No. 2ln D minor is known as the
Tempest Sonata. The Allegro is a grand, im
passioned movement; the Adagio is simply pro
digious, and calls to mind the fairy story of the
Enchanted Rose, a rose which is not a
rose, but a beautiful princess, victim
of the charm which the sorcerer has
thrown around her. The allegretto might
be called a Rondo, from its beautiful, graceful
embroideries, and seems to invite the fascinating
coquetries of touch and elegant refinement of
style of Chopin.
That this series of Beethoven Matindes will be
made instructive and interesting, there is little
doubt, and an hour of musical recreation can
scarcely be better spent than in hearing Mr.
Wolfsohn's interpretation of the thoughts of the
great Symphonist, as delivered in his Pianoforte
Sonatas.

ITALIAN OPERA.—Madame Gazzaniga appeared
last evening in the role of "Luerozia,' the
opera Lvicrezia Borgia, and was received with the
same warmth and cordiality as upon the occasion
of her first appearance a few nightg ago, She
sang with spirit, and with all the fervor and In
tensity for which she is famous. Madame Testa,
Signori Baragli and Barili were also excellent in
their respective parts. This evening the opera
of Linda will be given. Miss BIWA' will sustain
the role of "Linda," Mme. Testa will appear as
"Plerotto," Signor Baragli as "Carlo,' Signor
Antonucci as "The Prefect," and Ronconi will
perform the serious part of "Antonio." Ronconi

ACCIDENT IN DALTIAIORE.
Fitll of the Floors of a Afilefittery...Orte
man Killed.
'lFrom the Baltimore American, 14th.)
On Monday night, about 9;( o'clock, there oc
curred at the — Maryland Sugar Relit:cry, on Du
gan's wharf, cast side of Frederick street dock, a
casualty which may probably result in the death
of one of the workmen; Casper Rusk. besides se
verely scalding two others named Philip Werner
and Charles Wisner. At the time above stated
the eighth floor of the central building, on which
was placed two large iron tanks, each weighing
about three tons, and capable of containingl,ooo
gallons of syrup, suddenly sprung, causing the
joists to fall out of the recesses of the west wall.
One half of this floor with the heavy tanks was
precipitated on the seventh, and then succes
sively on the other floors, cArrying with it the
clarifying vessels, twenty-four in number, with
the necessary appliances, until it reached the
story where it rested. Rusk was on one of the
upper floors, and with it was carried below . ,
being completely covered by the fragments of the
floor, etc. At six o'clock this morning he, was
alive, and in answer to the inquiries of his fellow
workmen, stated that his feet were caught by the
pieces of timber and, that he was unable to move.
As subsequently e made no response to
the calls of the men, it is apprehended that be
is dead. Werner and Winter were badly
scalded about the arms by the heated syrup.
They were removed to their homes and received
medical attendance. Within the last twelve
months the refinery had been enlarged by the
erection Of a new building with additional ma
chinery, introducing all the latest improvements.
The work appeared to have been done in the
most solid and substantial manner. The ma
chinery does not appear to he very seriously in
jured, and the loss of sugar is not great. The
walls arc not in the slightest degree injured. The
cause of the disaster has not yetbeen ascertained,
but it was doubtless owing to some hidden defect
in the building.

CARL WOLFSOIIN'N SECOND BEETHOVEN MATE
NEE is announced of i Friday afternoon, when he
will have the assistance of Mr. Theo. Habcl
moan, who will sing for the first time two songs
by Schubert and one by Mozart, from II Se
raglio. The first of this series was attended by a
large and respectable audience, who frequently
testified their approbation by earnest expressions
of applause. The seeonc. will' scarcely fall be
low the merit and interest of the first. Mr. Wolf-
Bohn will perform the Sonata in A major opus '2,
no 2; that in D major opus 28, known as the
Sonata Pastorale, and the one in D minor opus
31, no. 2, known as the Tempest Sonata.
The first movement of opus 2, No. 2. is bold
and novel, foretelling or rather foreshadowing
the approach to the second manner of Beetho
ye n,and is In two-four time; an unusual measure
for the first allegro, which, when used by Haydn_
and Mozart, seemed to dwarf their. power.. But.
when a twoo - foUr dine is used by Beethovemit is
to concentrate his idea, to gather greater
strength. Such is the case with this Sonata, the
Kyrie of the Mass in C major, the first movement
of the Symphony in C minor, and the Symphony.
with chorus. The first part of the allegro
finishes by some chords which prepare the ear
for a transition from E major to C major, which
leads to some passages in A minor, wherein is
introduced a melody like a Russian song in char
acter, preparing deliciously for a return to the
motivo in A major. This allegro is already the
egg from which was hatched the eagle of the
Symphony in A major. The Largo A ppwsionato
is quite a little oratorio and recalls the majestic
manner of Handel, whom Beethoven ranked
above all composers, and of whom he said he
would wish to kneel reverently with uncovered
head at his grave. This slow movement has been
arranged for orchestra by %,e'Chevaller Seyfried.
The Scherzo in A majoeis a charming, spark
ling effusion, which flatters the ear and dispels
the charge that there is nothing but science and
learning in Beethoven's compositions. The im
passioned Canto of the trio in A minor, has the
style of the Russian melodies, and It 113 probable
that the composer guessed at this Selavonic ele
ment, for there were bat two or three Russian'
. songs known in Germany at that time. Sonia
later use of Russian forms was owing to melo
dies furnished him by Count Basoumoosky. The
Rondo is supposed to resemble the styleof Field,
to whom it is, however, anterior.

The following is the address delivered before
the Georgia Constitutional Conventitn on the , '
10th inst.:
Air. President and , Gentlemen of the Cciretation r
I appear before you to-day in compliance with
the courteous resolution you have been pleased
to pass, inviting rae`to a seat upon your floor.
I came here principally for the, purpose of re
turning to you in person my thanks for the
kindness and courtesy indicated by your reao-
Intions. At the same time, ill, appearl) ter
me that this is a suitable occasion for
me to state to you, and through you to the
people of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, certain
points in regarcito what I conceive to be my duty
in the position assigned to meby thoGervernmont -
of the United States. lam assigned' to the po
sition Inow occupy, undena law of Congress, by
direction of the President of the Unitedftttes and.
the Secretary of War My duty is to execute s
law which has been passed by the Congress o
the United States. As a soldier, I conserve tha
I have no right to question the validity of the
net from which I derive my powers; nor can I
permit it to be questioned by — those under
my command. There is a proper course
to, be pursued in testing the validity of all acts,
but lam not the agent for that purpose, The
question arises—what are my duties under thi.
law ? In the words of the law, it is "to protee
all persons in their rights of person and proper
ty;• to suppress insurrection, disorder and vio •
lence, and to punish, or cause to be punished,
all disturbers of the public peace and criminals,"
and when this cannot be done through the proper
function of the civil ofllcers, then the law makes
it my duty to assist these officers and afford the
proper protection, and this duty shall bo
faithfully and honestly performed. Furthermore,
the law requires that an opportunity shall be
given to the people of Georgia, Alabama and
l'lorida to say whether they will accept the Con
stitutions which the Conventions of their rupee—
five States may frame. My duty is to see that
"all the registered and qualified electors in the
State have an opportunity to vote freelywithout
restraint, fear or influence of fraud," so as to en
able them to state whether they will or, will not
accept the terms offered. Now, that duty I shall
to the best of my ability, endeavor to
execute. Your duty, gentlemen, which you are
called upon to perform, is to frame a Constitu
tion and civil Government for the people of
Georgia, and, if accepted by the people or
Georgia, then to be submitted to the Congress of
the United States. I trust that, as Military Com
mander, we shall cooperate as far as may be
necessary. I do not see, however, that there is
much cooperation necessary. Your duty - is
specific,; and mine is similar. I do not
consider that your ordinances, within
the limits of the acts necessary for the
discharge of the duties prescribed by Con—
gress, are to be enforced by me pending the
adoption, of the Constitution; but I conceive this
powers with which I am invested are sufficient to ,
authorize my adoption of any of your acts as
my acts, in case, in my judgment, the well-being
of the people imperatively require such action on
my part; and,among such measures, I have under
consideration the rellyff laws as prepared by you.
In conclusion, I beg you will pardon so
much reference to myself and actions. But com
ingiamong you as I do, a stranger, never havi
teen in your State before except passing thro
as a traveler, it has occurred to me that this pla
expression of my views as to my duties and, de
termination to conscientiously discharge the
same, would serve, perhaps, to remove some of
the obstacles that might otherwise be
placed in my way. I trust, gentlemen, yen,
will proceed to frame a Constitution and frame a
civil Government, which shall be acceptable la
the qualified voters of Georgia. It is not my
duty to dictate, to recommend, or to ads
vise—but I feel justified in counseling modera
tion, and earnestly hoping that wisdom, calm
ness and reason will govern your prooceedius.
again I thank you most sincerely for your
courtesy.
